Fe-Fi-Fo
Repeat after me:
Say "Fe-Fi-Fo" Scroll down Now say "Fe-Fi" Scroll down Again, say "Fe-Fi" Again scroll down Now say it all together "Fe - Fi -Fo -Fe -Fi -Fe- Fi" Scroll down Know what it is? Scroll down Mike Tyson giving his phone number. :-) |

FI-FO-FI FO-FI-FI-FO
I always thought that was Jesse Jackson's ******************** This racist thread brought to you by wreck.boats :-( Isn't this where we trot out the Chinese laundry jokes, or the tired old saw about telling a running back that the football is really a watermelon? Will we ever get past dealing in racial stereotypes, or finding then "amusing"? |

Gould,
Racial and ethnic humor is not necessarily evil, and those who find racial and ethnic humor funny are not necessarily evil. I grew up in a very racially and ethnical diverse neighborhood, and we loved making jokes about each other and "stereotypes" concerning our different ethnic background. No one's feelings were hurt because we were comfortable enough with our friends and who we are to let a joke hurt our feelings. I have not known any ethnic group who did not enjoy ethnic humor as long as it was not mean spirited. I did not find this joke mean spirited (or particularly funny), but I don't consider myself bound by Political Correctness. Those who can not laugh at themselves, live a very boring life. wrote in message oups.com...

******************** You're right, assuming that JimH is black. JimH, if you're black then you were merely disrespecting your own ethnicity and not that of someone else. My criticism would still be warranted, but my comment less than accurate if you are black. We have no information upon which to base an assumption that you are white, and it isn't important either way. I often laugh at myself. I'm frequently pretty ridiculous, as are we all. The problem with this "joke" is that it perpetuates a myth that black people are unable to enunciate well. Look at Tim's comment in this thread. Jesse Jackson is very well spoken, but Tim was quick to hang this demeaning racial stereotype on Jackson. One of the classic idiocies in life is assigning stereotypes to a member of one group or another merely because you might disagree with that individual's politics or philosophy. Mike Tyson may not speak as well, (at least to the "white" ear), as Jesse Jackson but that has nothing to do with race. There are enormous differences in speaking ability among members of any race. The fact that the joke relies on a racial stereotype as a substitute for humor can be demonstrated by the response accusing Jesse Jackson of speaking as Mike Tyson is alleged to speak. There is little these two individuals have in common beyond their ethnicity. Stereotypes are always stupid. Doesn't matter whether one says *All*.......conservatives are mean, hard-heartred *******s.......liberals are socialist traitors.......black people like to eat fried chicken and watermelon.....white people have small body parts and can't jump......etc, etc, etc, etc......when one defaults to a single statement intended to include all the members of any group it simply shows that the person knows little, or could care less, about any individual members of the group. |

Did you find my Indian joke racial also? Like I said Chuck, get a life and a sense of humor. It was a joke and it certainly was not racial. |
